It is less than a week till Christmas and I still have not gotten anything ordered or anything, I have felt depressed and low energy these pasts couple of months, I cannot even keep up with my house chores which angers my roommates. I don’t think they want to hear about my mental health anymore, I think they are gonna be very upset when they bought me thing and I got nothing or just offered cash since I really have no energy to shop for them and I have no idea what to get and this has been a major cause of stress these past couple of weeks on top of non stop work, with only one day off in between. I just feel like I am crashing out and wondering if I should just move out and be homeless since I cannot really be the best roommate right now
I stopped giving holiday gifts for people many years ago and feel great about it. My partner and I don’t do it either. For me the only thing it did was cause me stress. If people give you grief for it, then question them why they would want you to have to do something that would make you feel bad. Someone who loves and respects you should not want you to go through that. Like other people said, if you need to give your roommates something give cash. Then they can actually get what they want.
